The Schedule referredto in these-Letters Patent and-making part of the sama.

To all whomtt ma@ concern.-

an even and continual reciprocetin g reetlinearmotion,

forming a substitute for the crank.

Figure l is a. plan of my invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal eleyation.

Figure 3 lis atransverse section, taken through the line a b on h'g. 2. v

The slider A is fitted to move freely on the frame B, by dovetal ways, and moved one way by the rack C and pinion D, and the reverse, by the drum E and eordAF, and the arms G G attached to each end ofthe slider A.

The pinion D and drum E'aire ttedforun loose on the driving-shaft H, and operatedby the clutch I, fitted to the shaft H by a spline,l or feather.

On the end of the .shaft H is the driving-pulley J.

-The motion is reversedv by the dogs LL attached to each end of .the slider A.

To'operate thismachine, move the pulley to th right, the clutch being in connection with the pinion. The slider moves in the same direction until one of the dogs L strikes the lever W, which disconnects theclutch from the pinion D, ,ri/hen, by the force of the spring N, it immediately connects with the drum E, reversing the motion of the slider A, thereby giving a. continual recipr'ocating motion while thepower is applied.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- 'ters Patent, is-

1. The arrangement oi'- the rack C, pinion D, and clutch "I, in' combination with the drum E, cord F, and arms G G attached to the slider A, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

2. The arrangement by which motion is'obtained `for thel slider A from. opposite sides of the pinion D and drum E, or equivalents, inl combination with the rack O, or cord F and clutch I, in the manner and for the purpose above described.'
